The primary object of the inventlon is to provide an ornamental handlefor an implement of the above typewherein a strip, such as a sheet ofpaper is provided'with a name or pictorial representation to be suitablyse- -cured to a transparent plate with the name or pictorialrepresentation viewable therethrough with the plates subsequentlysecured to opposite sides of the backing member of $5 a handle with afinishing layer or coating covering the adjacent edges of the connectemembers to present a smooth and even finish for the handle.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of thenovel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fullydescribed,

shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designatecorresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a side elevational. view of a paper cutter or envelopeopener, the blade of which is provided with an ornamental handleconstructed in accordance with the present invention,

Figure 2 shows side and edge elevational views of a paper strip providedwith a name or ictorial representation,

*igure 3 shows side and edge elevational views of the transparent plateto which the figured sheet is secured,

Figure 4 shows side and edge elevational titl] parent plate,

Figure 5 is a cross sectional view showing the connected sheets andtransparent views of the connected name strip and transplates secured tothe backing member of the handle,

Figure 6 is a cross sectional view taken on line VI-VT of Fig: 1 showingthe coating for the adjacent edges of the backing member and theconnected elements secured thereto, and

Figure 7 is an edge elevational view of the handle portion of theimplement shown in Fig. 1, partially in section, showing the name orpictorial strip positioned be-' tween the backing member and thetransparent plate, I

The article produced by the method hereinafter set forth includes animplement having a blade portion 1, a shank 2 and a handle portion 3constituting a backing member. A transparent-plate 4 of celluloid orsimilar material is secured to each side of the backing member 3, whilean intermediate strip 5 provided with a name or pictorial representationis interposed between the backing member 3 and the transparent plate 4,the name or pictorial representation being viewable through thetransparent plate, while the adjacent edges of the backing member andplate are covered with a coating 6 of a suitable paint or like materialto present a finished and smooth exterior surface for the handle.

The method employed in producing the ornamental handle consists inproviding sheets of material such as paper or the like as indicated bythe reference numeral 5 in Fig. 2, the same being of a configurationsimilar to the backing member 3 of the handle and having provided on oneface thereof a name or pictorial representation 5. A transparent plate4:, as shown in Fig. 3 of a shape or design similar to the sheet 5 shownin Fig. 2 has said sheet suitably secured thereto as indicated in Fig.4: with the name or pictorial representation 5 viewable through thetransparent plate as illustrated. The connected elements a and 5 arethen placed upon the backing member 3 of the h andle, the name orpictorial strip 5 being placed adjacent the backing member with thetransparent plates 45 positioned outwardly thereof as illustrated inFig. 7, the elements being suitably connected together as by atransparent cement or the like. A coating 6 is then provided on theadjacent edges of the backing member. and connected plate sections asshown in Fig. 6 to present a smooth and finished surface for the handie,the completed article being shown in Fig. 1 with the name ior pictorialrepresentation 5 clearly Viewable through the handles, wherein a handlehas a name or pictorial representation embodied therein,

the method of forming the handle consisting in securing the sheetcontaining the name or pictorial representation upon a transparentplate, uniting a pair of transparent plates to opposite sides of ahandle member and then coating the edges of the connected members.

2. As an article of manufacture, an ornamental handle embodying abacking member, transparent plates, sheets having names or pictorialrepresentations thereon secured to the transparent plates and combinedlysecured to opposite sides of the backing member and a coating for theedges of the connected members.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
